The best-of-five contest features a doubles match on Saturday before the reverse singles on Sunday.

Analysis from BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller

“With the support of a world record sized crowd to feed off, and sensing an opportunity against an opponent physically below his best, Gael Monfils was magnificent from the start. He served two aces in the opening game and dictated throughout – hitting 41 winners to record a comprehensive victory.

“Stan Wawrinka was equally impressive for Switzerland in the opening match of the day, despite the anxiety he felt at the extra responsibility on his shoulders.”
